These people who are called bandits but are actually servants are actually martial arts masters. Their main job is to practice martial arts and work as thugs.
So of course, they have absolute confidence in their martial arts. They all believe that the reason why they couldn't beat Lu Xu before was because their bows were not good.
Now, seeing the people in Wei'an Fort putting away their bows and arrows, the morale of the servants who had been suppressed and beaten immediately rose. One by one, they picked up the weapons in their hands and rushed towards Lu Xu with shouts.
However......
They didn't seem to notice Luo Yingyan's order just now.
What Luo Yingyan said was: "Front row! Change the knife!"
In the Wei'anbao military drills formulated by Lu Xu, he clearly stated that when conditions permit, you must try your best to ensure that your formation is more than two rows in every battle.
The advantage of this is that when the people in the front row are fighting with others, the people in the back row can still use bows and arrows to attack the enemy.
When Luo Yingyan took the initiative to launch an attack, he did not let the people in the back row change their swords, but asked them to continue to attack the enemy with bows and arrows.
Those servants are not vegetarians either. Although they don’t understand military formations, they do understand weapons!
When they charged, they subconsciously let the men with spears charge at the front.
Because although they didn't know that the people they were fighting against were from Wei'anbao, they knew that the group on the other side was not simple.
In particular, they found that their opponent's footsteps looked extremely heavy and he was obviously wearing armor.
It must be said that their eyesight is indeed very good, and they all know themselves. With their equipment, they can only rely on spears to break armor.
Although the defensive power of Wei'an Fort's cloth armor was strong, it could not block the thrust of the spear. But those Wei'an Fort people standing in the front row were not panicked at all! They all looked at the people holding weapons with calm faces.
Enemies charging towards you with spears.
Just when the morale of the servants reached its peak, Wei'anbao's eagle archers showed off their power again. They appeared behind and behind their comrades in the front row, taking advantage of the gaps between people to launch an attack on the servants.
This time they adopted the method of flat shooting. Although their archery skills were not very good because they had received less training. Fortunately, the distance between the two sides was close enough at this time, and the eagle bow was relatively easy to learn, so there were still a lot of long shots.
The spearman was wounded by the eagle's bow.
This isn’t the end yet!
The eagle archers who were eager to kill also started to practice rapid fire. Rapid fire at close range was a disaster for these servants who had almost no protection.
Some desperate spearmen used their last remaining courage to rush to the military formation of Wei'an Fort, trying to take advantage of the longer spears in their hands to kill one or two enemies.
But I didn't expect that Wei'anbao would not compete with him in martial arts at all. They only wanted to cooperate!
Every spearman who rushed to the front of the formation was greeted by at least two swords. One sword blocked their attack, and the other sword directly took their lives.
Originally, these spearmen had an advantage in numbers, but after they rushed through the rain of arrows from the eagle archers, their numerical advantage was "reduced" to a disadvantage, so they could only watch themselves being attacked by Wei'an Fort.
People surrounded and beat him, but he couldn't do anything about it.
The bandit swordsmen who followed behind were dumbfounded!
Daliang's servants usually only use two weapons - spears and knives. Occasionally, some people use shields and other weapons.
This can help the owner reduce the burden of purchasing weapons, and secondly, these weapons are sufficient for the servant's profession.
But when they stepped onto the battlefield and faced a paramilitary force like Wei'an Fort, their equipment disadvantages were fully exposed.
When they saw that the only spearman who could threaten their opponent was wiped out, the swordsmen behind them no longer had the courage to continue fighting.
All they could do was shout, and then run away at the risk of their lives!
As they fled, they secretly rejoiced in their hearts: "It's better now. Those brothers are all dead. The master will not think that we are disadvantaged in the battle."
Although it is very cruel, the performance of almost the entire army of spearmen being wiped out can indeed prove that these servants have tried their best.
Seeing that the enemy was defeated, Luo Yingyan led everyone in pursuit.
In fact, even if Lu Xu and Luo Yingyan didn't need to remind them, the people in the caravan and the people in Wei'an Fort also knew that Lu Xu and the others could only do a show of pursuing the enemy.
The reason is very simple. Everyone is wearing armor. They are running with a heavy load. It will be strange if they can catch up with those who have no protective power or burden.
but!
Whether it's the people from Wei'anbao or the caravan, all they want is just to show off!
After Lu Xu and the others chased into the mountains and forests, Shopkeeper Liu immediately took action!
Lu Xu and the others didn't chase them very far when they saw a few bandits on the roadside who couldn't run away.
The big guys in Wei'an Fort just now dared to kill the people who rushed in front of them because they knew that many of the bandits' swordsmen had been injured by their arrows. These people were all ready-made victims, and they didn't even know that
How far can it run?
Sure enough, not long after they chased them out, they saw several bandits collapsed on the roadside.
Lu Xu looked back and saw that Shopkeeper Liu and others could not see what was happening here, so he ordered Luo Yingyan to gather these people together.
It didn't take long for Luo Yingyan and the others to capture more than 20 injured prisoners.
Lu Xu pulled a person's collar and saw the muscles and skin of that person through the collar.
Lu Xu had a sneer on his face: "You are really capable, how can you pretend to be a bandit when you take good care of yourself?"
The man caught by Lu Xu yelled with a fierce look: "I am a bandit! Let me tell you, we should be fooled..."
This man was killed by Lu Xu before he finished speaking!
Seeing Lu Xu kill people so decisively, all the servants became so silent that they no longer dared to say a word.
Lu Xu said coldly: "I ask, you answer! If you answer wrongly or don't answer, you will die!"
The servants thought to themselves: "You didn't even tell me the benefits of your answer, how can we speak so easily?"
They took advantage of the large number of prisoners present and had the mentality that the law should not be punished. Coupled with their fear of their masters, they made up their minds not to answer Lu Xu.
Lu Xu asked: "First question, whose servants are you?"
The servants all lowered their heads and said nothing. Lu Xu sneered: "You won't say anything, right? Then I'll call them by name!"
As he spoke, Lu Xu pointed, and Luo Yingyan pulled a servant over. Lu Xu put the knife on his neck and asked coldly: "Let me ask again, whose servant are you?"
The servant's eyes flashed, and he obviously didn't intend to answer Lu Xu. Lu Xu didn't waste any words, he used force on his hand, and completely killed the servant!
None of the servants expected that Lu Xu would do it so quickly, and all of them looked at Lu Xu in shock.
Lu Xu asked Luo Yingyan to pull over a servant again, and continued to put the knife on the other person's neck: "You tell me!"
The servant hesitated: "I..."
Obviously, he wanted to speak first to stabilize Lu Xu, and then delay the time appropriately to come up with a perfect plan for himself.
But as soon as he hesitated, Lu Xu immediately struck with a knife!
When the third person came on the scene, before Lu Xu could put the knife on him, the other person shouted at the top of his lungs: "I said! I said! Don't kill me!"
